Congratulations. That is our show for tonight. Now it is time for the last word with ali velshi, and for lawrence. I hope you have a great weekend. That was an amazing show. Enjoy. You too. Donald trump makes a lot of bold predictions about the biden presidency, but one prediction has not panned out and that is a stock market crash. The dow under the biden administration ended the week at an alltime record high. Here is how Fox News reported it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and there it goes. The fireworks are queued. It is the 32nd Record Close for the dow this year. That will do it for us. Have a wonderful weekend. The 32nd Record Close this year. So much for trumps prognostications. There are 3090s to Election Day and early voting is underway in 26 states. Today Vice President harris made her first visit to the u. S. Mexico border since becoming the democratic nominee for president , where she received a briefing from customs and Border Protection officials and viewed technology that detects illicit drugs, including fentanyl. Vice president harris was in the Border City of douglas, arizona, which is part of what customs and Border Protection calls the Tucson Sector. The Tucson Sector covers 262 border miles and is one of the busiest sectors in the country in terms of undocumented alien Apprehension And Marijuana seizures. The head of the Vice President s visit, Donald Trump double down on his racist rhetoric against immigrants, again using words like Invasion And Migrant crime. Instead of trafficking and racist tropes and lies about migrants, Vice President harris said this. The united states is a sovereign nation and i believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them and i take that responsibility very seriously. We are also a nation of immigrants. The united states has been enriched by generations of people who have come from every corner of the world to contribute to our country and to become part of The American story. And so we must reform our Immigration System to ensure that it works in an orderly way. That it is humane. And that it makes our country stronger. Since becoming the democratic nominee for president , Donald Trump and republicans have attacked Vice President harris over the biden harris administrations migrant policies. Vice president harris had this message for voters. I reject the false choice that suggests we must choose between securing our border or creating a system of immigration that is safe, orderly and humane. We can and we must do both. We must do both. In the four years Donald Trump was president , he did nothing to fix our broken Immigration System. He separated families. He ripped toddlers out of their mothers arms. Put children in cages and tried to end protections for dreamers. He made the challenges at the border worse and he is still, and he is still fanning the flames of fear and division. And let me be clear, that is not the work of a leader. That is not the work of a leader and that is, in fact, i think we all believe, and abdication of leadership. And so on behalf of all across our nation who want to see these problems solved, i say we cannot accept Donald Trumps failure to lead. We should not permit scapegoating. Instead of solutions. And lets see what is happening. Lets not permit scapegoating instead of solutions or rhetoric instead of results. Vice president harris said this about the bipartisan Border Security Bill that Donald Trump killed. And The American people deserve a president who cares more about Border Security than playing political games and their personal political future. Donald trump of course is attempting to rewrite history about the Border Bill and today he said this. She said about the Border Bill that trump stopped it. Number one i did not stop it. The senators stopped it, but that is the worst bill ever drawn. Ahead of her visit the Harris Campaign released this ad. Kamala harris has never backed down from a challenge. She put Cartel Members and Drug Traffickers behind bars. Then she will secure our border. Here is her plan. Hire thousands more Border Agents. Enforce the Law And Step up technology and stop Fentanyl Smuggling and human trafficking. We need a leader with a real plan to fix the border and that is Kamala Harris. I am Kamala Harris and i approve this message. Joining us now is democratic Congressman Colin allred of texas. He is running for the united States Senate in the Border State of texas against senator Ted Cruz. Good to see you again. Thank you for being with us. Talk to me about the strategy we have been reading about the you are engaging in in terms of taking this particular Issue Head on. Donald trump has portrayed this as a democratic failure, a biden failure, a harris failure. You are approaching the discussion about Border Security differently. I have long called Attention And Response to the crisis, but also focus on our Border Communities and the need to act at the executive level, but also at the congressional level. It is personal for me. My grandfather was a Customs Officer responsible for the gateway bridge. Everybody in texas and brownsville knows which bridge that is. That is where my mom and my aunt were born and raised and i spent a lot of my childhood. I know that our Border Communities are real places and they bear the brunt of inaction. So i am glad to see more Executive Action being proposed, but this has to be done congressionally as well and that is where the bipartisan Border Bill in the senate that Ted Cruz helped takedown becomes an important point of discussion. There was 20 Billion for Border Security in that bill. For more judges, more personnel, but also more Border Patrol agents and technology to catch fentanyl coming across the border and that is what we need to do. The issue is that that was a bill a lot of republicans didnt like, democrats did not like but that is the nature of this difficult work in congress. Donald trump runs away from the fact that he was responsible for killing that bill, because there are a lot of republicans who would rather Run On the problem of border issues than solutions to border issues. Thats right. Listen, i was in South Texas visiting with some friends and i will tell you, it is kind of a joke that Ted Cruz comes down to South Texas and puts on his outdoor clothes and, you know, tries to look tough and then goes back to washington and does nothing at all to. It is becoming, you know, you know, just a joke. Dont come down and say you are going to do these things and then stop us from actually doing those things in your job as a senator. We have also point out problems. We have Border Patrol agents working as hard as they can. One of the concerns i have is that we are increasingly seeing Mental Health issues within the Border Patrol because they are asked to work overtime and sometimes away from home and they are experiencing the stress that comes along with that as a workforce. That is why this bill that would have hired more Border Agents is so important. It is not enough to talk about an issue. People expect you to solve it and when you are from these communities like my family is, the inaction becomes something that is unacceptable. To what do you attribute the fact that this inaction has been for so long . This continues to be a big issue for americans regardless of where you stand on it. Most people seem to agree we are a country, we have a border and we should be able to maintain what goes on at that border. Who comes in, what comes in, who stays out, what stays out. We have not had the political courage or political leadership in place to do it in the congress. Lets go back to 2013, when Barack Obama and the gang of eight was coming together and put together a comprehensive reform for the Immigration System with billions of dollars in that bill as well for Border Security. You know, Ted Cruz was in the senate at that time and he helped takedown that bill back then, just like he helped takedown this bill earlier this year. You mentioned that republicans and democrats have issues with the bill in the senate. Not really, actually. This was just the Enforcement Side of Border Security, but none of the reforms to our system that we know we also have to do. Honestly to fix this we have to get folks in who want to solve it, as you said, instead of just having the problem to Run On. I do think in the back of their minds and i know this is true for Ted Cruz. He thinks if we pass this bill, what would i have talked about in the election, because that is my main issue that i am trying to Run On. That has to be so outrageous to every texan that you put yourself and reelection over what is best for our state. People used to get things done and then Run On the idea that they were involved in the solution. Exactly, you could say look what i did. The world is an upside on place. Congressman Colin Allred, thank you for being with us tonight. Colin allred is a democratic Senate Nominee in texas. Joining us now is the host of the Podcast And Stuart stevens, veteran of five republican president ial campaigns. Senior advisor at the Lincoln Project and the author of the conspiracy to end america. My old party is driving our democracy to autocracy. You are experts about this because we talked about election for i dont know how many president ial cycles. It consistently ranks as one of the major issues. Stuart stevens, Colin Allred acknowledges, as most people who know this topic, that there have been attempted advances and big failures on both sides of the political aisle on this issue. At this point we seem to know what solutions look like and we have obstructive forces in the republican party, Donald Trump included. I really dont think that is that complicated. They put together this bill. This is a hard thing to do to get people to agree on this and they did the Hard Work. There is no question that Donald Trump killed this bill so it would help him. Think about it from a moral viewpoint. How many people have suffered because this bill was not passed . How much fentanyl got into the country that would not if this had passed . It is truly a larger indication of how the republican party has really collapsed as a governing party. It is interesting, jennifer, because the republican party has emphasized border strength, but in fact we have seen historically the republicans being very understanding of the economic imperatives of immigration. The economic dangers of sounding like an antiimmigrant country. That all seems to be out the window. The Border Security issue has become one that republicans have latched onto and yet will not solve. That is absolutely right. It used to be that legal immigration, reforming the legal Immigration System, increasing the visas that go to highly skilled workers was a bipartisan issue, but republicans have become reflexively antiimmigrant. It doesnt matter if they were legally here like haitians in springfield. It does not matter, they are against them because this is essentially coming down to a racial issue. By the way, they dont talk about immigration from asia where people overstayed visas. They are talking about black and brown people from central and southern america. That is what this comes down to. I have to say i was really struck by Kamala Harris. She is leaning into her role as a prosecutor and treating it like it is, which is a legal enforcement issue. She sounds much tougher than biden never did and much tougher than a lot of democrats have and i think this is recognition by the democrats that they can be supportive of dreamers. They can be supportive of our system, but they also to be concerned about the border. This is a good turn for the democrats. It is for the center. Likely to appeal to people in the middle and i give her some kudos because i am sure people in her party are not comfortable with this. Politically it is wise in the long run, to distinguish between Border Security, the process of getting potential migrants through the system, legal immigration which we need much more of because of our economic growth. If we can get past obstructionists like Donald Trump and others in the republican party on this issue, this can, as jennifer says, once again become a bipartisan issue that we can actually solve. What does that look like to you and do you think there is will in the republican party of guys like Donald Trump are not standing in the way of Immigration Reform to get this done in a bipartisan fashion . I think as far as what it looks like, lets look at ronald reagan. Ronald reagan announced for president at the Statue Of Liberty to send a message about immigration. He signed a bill to let everyone in the country before 1984 be legal. That is what it looks like. Now the problem is that this is not a trump issue. It is what the republican party has become. I mean the antitrump element of the republican party is just tiny and when trump loses, which i think he is, they are not going to rush to solve this. Theyre going to continue to try to use it as a hot Button Issue in campaigns and that is a real tragedy. The republican position on immigration was never this. As recently as the 2015 2016 republican primary, you had candidates including Jeb Bush and others who were discussing immigration in a much more traditional sense. Despite that this had been a bipartisan failure to reform immigration, there were normal conversations going on about immigration within the republican party. As recently as that. That seems to be gone. It really doesnt remember in 2013 when they passed that bill, it actually passed overwhelmingly in the senate. But good all Paul Ryan who everyone thinks is a pro business, moderate guy, did not have the nerve to put it on the floor. Basically the democrats In The House Chickened Out. The republicans Chickened Out and the bill went nowhere and Ted Cruz did nothing. By the way, marco rubio, the senator from florida who continually complains about immigration, just dropped it. He ran from it like a hot potato. So this is one suggestion i would have for Kamala Harris and that is if republicans again try to filibuster it, she should try to reform the filibuster on this issue. Not on some kind of very progressive issue that is controversial. Let them do this and say to The American people, the senate is stopping Border Security. Im going to get this done and carve out an exception to the filibuster, because that is where the problem is. They can get a majority In The House. They can get a bipartisan group in the senate, but if you have to get 60 votes its not going to fly, not in this republican party. It is an overwhelmingly bipartisan issue. The idea of fixing immigration on all its fronts. More immigrants, being able to control the border, all of that is heavily bipartisan. Thanks to both of you. Coming up, ukraines President Zelenskyy met with Donald Trump in New York today, where Donald Trump could not help but praise Vladimir Putin and tell more election lies.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy met with top leaders of both political parties as he tries to keep u. S. Support for Ukraines War against russia. After Meetings Yesterday with congress, the biden administration and Vice President harris, Today Zelenskyy traveled to Trump Tower in new York City for his first meeting with Donald Trump in five years. Even before todays meeting began, trump could not resist publicly dragging Zelenskyy Into lies about his first impeachment. He said President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. He said it loud and clear and the impeachment died right there. Imagine saying that with the guy right next to you and then standing with the president of ukraine, Donald Trump bragged about his relationship with Vladimir Putin. So we have a very good relationship and i also have a very good relationship as you know with President Putin and i think we will get a result very quickly. I really think we will get it. I hope we have more good relations. You know It Takes Two To Tango and we are going to have a good Meeting Today and i think the fact that we are even together today is a very good sign. What does It Takes Two To Tango in this Context Mean . Under Donald Trump the republican party has come a long way from mister gorbachev, tear down this wall. Today trump again told the lie that he could negotiate a good deal that would benefit both sides including russia. That plan does not exist, which is why when asked he never gives specifics about how he would bring peace to ukraine. Here is what Donald Trump said yesterday when asked specifically about that. I believe i will be able to make a deal between President Putin and President Zelenskyy, quite quickly. Reporter what does that look like . I dont want to tell you what that looks like. I dont want to tell you what that looks like. Donald trump has no plan. Zelenskyy knows that, but he needs support from both democrats and maga republicans in congress. Yesterday Vice President harris said this to zelenskyy. I share with you, Mister President , there are some in my country who would instead force ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory. Who would demand that ukraine accept neutrality and would require ukraine to forgo Security Relationships with other nations. These proposals are the same of those of putin and let us be clear, they are not proposals for peace. Instead they are proposals for surrender, which is dangerous and unacceptable. Joining us now is timothy snyder, professor of history at Yale University and author of the new book, on freedom, which is now as we could expect, a New York times bestseller. Thank you for being with us. Sometimes you and i have parsed some of the things Donald Trump has said, but i think watching him stand with zelenskyy by his side, since he threw zelenskyy under the bus while he was president , long before this war and sing the things he said about how zelenskyy said it was a perfect call. How he enjoys a really good relationship with Vladimir Putin and the last comment about how It Takes Two To Tango, i think that tells you a lot about Donald Trump and the games he plays and the lies he tells with no shame. The thing that struck me, before we even get to ukraine, is just how terrible a Negotiator Trump is. You never say that you are in a hurry if you are a negotiator. That is Mistake Number one and if you are in a hurry you pretend you are not, whereas trump is promising to do something quite quickly, which means if he were negotiating, putin could do whatever he wanted and forced trump to try to make a good deal and the second thing you never do in negotiating is make all of your concessions in advance and as far as we know, judging by trump surrogates like vance, trumps idea is to concede on the russian points at a time and put american power on russias side. These are the things which are concerning, before you even get to the things he is trying to drag Zelenskyy Into. Lets talk about those because zelenskyy has turned out to be a remarkably creative leader. There were people who in the early days of the war thought he was in over his skis and not prepared for this war, yet it continues. Here is what Donald Trump said in North Carolina about zelenskyy and then lets talk about that relationship and what has to happen. A deal could have been made if we had a competent president instead of a president that egged at all on and Biden And Kamala allowed this to happen by Feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before. Every time he came to our country he walked away with 60 billion. Probably the greatest salesman on earth. This was on wednesday. Today is friday. Two days ago he was calling zelenskyy the greatest salesman on earth, for being able to squeeze money out of the united states and now he is talking about he hopes they have a good relationship. Help me interpret this. First of all you have to notice that it has been an anti semitic week for mr. Trump. Just by the way. So the thing which troubles me the most is i really think every american political leader, including trump, ought to be starting with statements of respect for the ukrainians. Ukrainians are not a problem, they are a solution. They are holding back a country which we regard as a problem. They are deterring china, which is supposedly a big concern. They are preserving the World Order by resisting an invasion designed to disrupt that order. They are doing all kinds of things for us. It takes everybody, republican or democrat to begin with words of respect, rather than trying to turn everything around and talk about how it was the ukrainians fault. Ukrainians are suffering in the largest war in europe since 1935 and in the suffering of a huge scale they are doing things which we are helping with a little bit on the margin and we ought to be respectful. We ought to start on that tone rather than trying to make ourselves big. Zelenskyy tweeted at The End of it, he said of him and trump, we share a common view that the war in ukraine must be true be stopped. That is all they share. Talk to me on the Autocracy Side of things, from the Putin Side of things. What is the signaling from Donald Trump . Is it a Negotiating Decision or doing vladimir Putins Bidding . Is Vladimir Putin hoping that trump wins the election because the pressure will come off of him to some degree . It is clearly, 100 true and has been unambiguous for more than a year. The entire russian politics of this is just trying to stay in the war long enough until trump rescues them. In contradiction to what trump said, the ukrainians have fought incredibly well and if they received better support we couldve put this war to an end and a good sense a while ago. The one thing keeping russians in the war are fears in the White House and the hope that trump wins. So when trump Signals Weakness and signals anticipatory submission, like he is signaling now, he is giving the kremlin what the kremlin hopes for and expects. Part of the problem as we have been talking about this for 2 1 2 years, there are still some americans for whom this is not central and in this instance it is not just about less support for ukraine if Donald Trump were to win. It is less support for the biggest and most successful global Military Alliance in the history of the world, which is nato. That is certainly true. It goes deeper than that. It is about whether one believes there should be a World Order based on laws where one is totally indifferent to the violation of those laws. We care about borders, do we care about genocide or do we want to put our power on the side of people trying to stand up for those things . It seems to me that that is the fundamental question. Tim, good to talk to you. Timothy snyder is the author of on freedom, a New York times bestseller and a History Professor at Yale University.

Then he showed us. For 54 years, they were trying to get Roe V wade terminated. And i did it. And im proud to have done it. Now, Donald Trump wants to go further with plans to restrict birth control, Ban Abortion nationwide, even monitor womens pregnancies. We know who Donald Trump is. Hell take control.

Abortion is a losing issue for republicans, yet somehow republican men running for office cannot seem to stop talking about it in ways that are turning a lot of women off. Specifically women who will be voting in november. As the New York times reports, like a toothache they keep probing with their tongue, they cant seem to help it. In competitive contests republicans keep bringing it up and in terms there can terms that are contemptuous of women. Do you want an example . Donald trump did it again on monday. He will no longer be abandoned, lonely or scared. You will be protect it and i will be her protector. Women will be healthy, confident and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion. That is some 1984 stuff right there. You will be protected and i will be your protector. That is some Handmaids Tale Stuff i post i suppose. Donald trumps justices gave conservatives on the Supreme Court all they needed to overturn Roe V. Wade, a Crusade Republicans have been on for decades. Bands that would in effect after that ruling have risked womens lives and contributed to, as far as i know, at least the deaths of two Women In Georgia and yet these republican men keep on talking and saying things like what we hear from the ohio republican senate candidate, Bernie Moreno, this week. You know the left has a lot of single issue voters. Sadly, by the way, theres a lot of suburban women. A lot of suburban women. If i cant have an abortion in this country whenever i want, i will vote for anybody else. Okay. Its a little crazy by the way. Especially for women that are like past 50. Im thinking to myself, i dont think thats an issue for you. I dont think im glad my wife didnt hear that one, he says. That was so bad that morenos fell ill fellow republican called him out on twitter, saying are you trying to lose the election . Asking for a friend. In case Bernie Moreno forgot, 57 of ohio voters voted to Enshrine Abortion Rights into that States Constitution last year. That included, by definition, republicans. Plenty of them. In a Red State like Ohio The Guardian reports that the outrage led republicans to flounder in the midterms and abortionrights supporters have one every Post Row Ballot measure including in Red States such as ohio, kentucky, and kansas. And voters intend more states get to vote for similar Ballot Measures to protect Abortion Rights which could be pivotal in senate races in arizona, florida, and montana. Republicans have a Women Problem and the more they talk about abortion, the worst that Women Problem keeps getting. Joining us now is democratic Congresswoman Amelia sikes. One of two House Democrats this month who introduced a resolution to reaffirm access to Emergency Abortion Care for all americans. Good to have you on the show. Thank you for being with us. Thank you. What is Bernie Moreno thinking . I dont understand what he is talking about. I mean, i fully understand, but i dont see how he thinks that wins, even in a state that votes republican, when he has already seen the proof in the pudding that was the vote you had in your state. Im not really sure what he is thinking about, but one thing i am thinking about are the voters in ohio who have overwhelmingly decided they will choose freedom. They will choose opportunity to decide what they will do with their bodies and not allow politicians to inject themselves into their most personal decisionmaking. So i am going to respect the voters. Im not going to make fun of them. Im running against a person who said people did not know what they were doing when they voted for their own freedoms and i think that is wrong. We have seen time and time again, as you just mentioned, state after state believes what we believe, in freedom. The freedom to choose and make your decisions. To not have politicians involved in the most intimate decision making. I have to ask you, it could be beneath our dignity to have this conversation, but we need to have it because Donald Trump says stuff like you said on monday. That was a weird thing he said, all of it, that you will not be thinking about abortion. He said you will be protected, to women, and i will be her protector. What you make of that . I dont believe it. Im going to believe the women in my state, the women in my district and the women across the country who have made it clear they want reproductive rights to be protected. We saw what the former president did. He bragged about the dobbs decision. He bragged about getting rid of Roe V. Wade and we had to go to the streets and get petitions signed and get it on the ballot to make sure we have the freedom to choose for herself. The people i trust are The American people. I trust the people of ohios congressional district to make decisions for themselves, because they know what is best for them and i wish more of my colleagues would believe women. Believe women when they tell you what is important to them because they are at least 50 if not more of our population and they deserve to be heard. Are you satisfied that republicans from Kamala Harris on down our messaging on this as effectively as they can be . I think people messaging on this appropriately are those who respect voters, respect women and respect the opportunities for all of us to live The American dream how they choose to live it. We respect freedom, so what i appreciate about being part of our caucus and being part as the congresswoman who represents my district, that we get to have those backand forth conversations. At The End of the day like voters did in ohio, they chose to protect reproductive freedoms and enshrine it in our State Constitution and it is my job to make sure i protect it. That is what they elected me to do. Congresswoman, great to have you on the show. Congresswoman Emilia Sykes of ohio, thank you for being with us.

Ingrezza Jared Kushner collected 112 Million in fees but hasnt made a single dime for the saudis through this fund. We dont know if the Saudis Expected Profits or they just wanted to reward jared for the service. This 2 Billion payment for this Investment Fund represents the reward of sitting next to former President Trump and pushing for prosaudi policies. That was democratic Congressman Robert Garcia speaking on the House Floor this week. The New York times reports that Jared Kushners investment firm, affinity partners, has been paid at least 112 Million in fees since 2021 by Saudi Arabia and other foreign investors, even though, as of july, it had not yet returned any profits to the governments, largely bankrolling the firm. At least 99 of the roughly 3 Billion investment came from overseas sources, including 2 Billion from the saudi governments public Investment Fund, End Point a Senate Finance Committee investigation found that jared Kushners Firm, which as i said, is called affinity partners, has only invested about one third of the assets it manages, charging fees on billions of dollars that have not been invested and are not generating returns. The Senate Finance Committee chairman Ron Wyden this, quote, affinities investors may not be motivated by commercial considerations, but rather, the opportunity to funnel foreign Government Money to members of President Trumps family, namely jared Kushner And Ivanka trump. Affinitys failure to deploy capital in a timely fashion while charging excessive fees has reinforced my view that affinity is likely part of a Compensation Scheme involving u. S. Political figures, designed to circumvent the foreign agents registration act, End Point. Here is more of what Congressman Garcia had to say on the House Floor. We can no longer wait to hold the kushners accountable for their shady dealings. Our democracy is not for sale and we need to ask ourselves the question why did Jared Kushner receive 2 Billion for an Investment Fund just months after leaving the White House . The american people deserve answers and we should never stop until we get them. Joining us now is democratic Congressman Robert Garcia of california. Relevant to this conversation, Congressman Garcia is a member of the house Oversight Committee. Good to see you. Thank you for being with us. Tell me more about what you were saying on the House Floor. What is your concern . What you believe me be happening here in this deal with Jared Kushner and to his essentially new firm, affinity partners, which got this remarkable contract to invest money on behalf of the government of Saudi Arabia . Thank you. Look, lets first start with the facts. We know that Jared Kushner was President Trumps his father inlaw, was lead advisor on a lot of military policy. We know Rex Tillerson opposed Arms Deals to the saudis. There was a lot of concern from the state department, from foreignpolicy advisors about Jareds Closeness to the saudi government. Then we also know that just months after leaving the White House, jared gets 2 Billion with a b for his Investment Fund, and yet to this day has not made a single penny back for the saudis. This is really serious. You match that with the other what i think is clear corruption on the trump side, the Trump Organization basically funneling millions and millions of dollars from foreign governments to trump properties. We have receipts of this. We have evidence of all of these millions from places like china, from qatar, from Saudi Arabia, been paid to the Trump Organization, and yet there is no investigation because republicans want to cover it up. This screams something really bad happening, corruption happening, and you should do Demand Transparency and answers. I want to read further from the letter that Senate Finance Committee chairman Ron Wyden wrote to jared Kushners Firm about the timing of these investments. Affinitys Investment Agreements with various foreign governments are set to expire right in the middle of a potential second term for former President Trump. Since affinity is whollyowned by Jared Kushner, this creates a situation where the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar And Uae will have significant leverage over the Trump Family should they threaten to pull their investments and stop paying millions of dollars in fees to kushner, and concomitantly, trumps daughter, ivanka. A future Trump Administration will have financial motives to make Foreign Policy Decisions that may be counter to the national interest in order to assure Kushner And Ivanka trump continue to collect millions of dollars in fees from foreign governments through affinity. Tell me about this, the idea that we are now in a situation where not only does Jared Kushner potentially benefit from the fact that hes Jared Kushner and Donald Trumps son inlaw, but in fact there may be a pivotal moment of Donald Trump were to win again, in which these governments that have leverage over Donald Trumps family. I think first we know that Donald Trump likes to cozy up to authoritarian governments. We know that the saudis, qatar, the uae have all funneled millions and millions of dollars into trump parties while trump was president. In my opinion and many others, breaking the Emoluments Clause of the constitution. And yet republicans are choosing to not investigate this fully. You tie that with this Investment Fund and the terms which basically ending a possible trump presidency, we have a very dangerous situation where the kushners could walk away making millions and millions of dollars because of their Coziness And Closeness to saudis and other authoritarian governments and dictators. This is what Donald Trump and his family continue to do and what they did during the presidency. They are trying to profit off the presidency and the fact that Jared Kushner has not made a penny for the investors should be ringing huge Alarm Bells in washington, d. C. But of course, republicans on the Oversight Committee and Donald Trump himself will have nothing to do with what needs to be an important investigation. Im glad the senate is moving forward. The house needs to do the same thing. Good to see you. Thank you for joining us tonight on this conversation, Robert Garcia of california. Well be right back. Back.
